Li M E-HOLDER FOR WALK! NG-CU LTlVATO RS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 19,039, dated January7, 1890.

Application filed March 21, 1889- Serial No. 304,168. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JACOB GLOR, a citizen of the United States, residingat Prague, in the county of Sanders and State of Nebraska, have inventeda new and useful Improvement in Line-Holders for \Valking-Cultivators,of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in line holders forwalkingcultivators and plows; and it consists in the peculiarconstruction and combination of devices that will be more fully setforth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective View of a portion of theframe of a walkingeultivator provided with a line-holder embodying myimprovements. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a modified form of myimproved line-holder. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional View of the formillustrated in Fig. l.

A represents a vertical standard, which is provided at its lower endwith horizontal arms B, which extend in opposite directions, and areadapted to bear upon the bifurcated arms Z) at the rear end of thetongue a, which comprises the main frame of the usualwalking-cultivator, as shown in Fig. 1. The said arms Bare secured tothe rear ends of the arms Z) by means of bolts or clips, as shown, andthereby the standard is firmly supported on the cultivator-frame. Saidstandard is provided on its front side with a vertical series of concaverecesses O.

D represents a head, which is provided with a vertical opening E,through which the standard extends, and has a longitudinal opening F.

G represents a pair of supporting rods, which have their outer ends bentupward at right angles, as at 11, and then bent inward for a slightdistance, as at I. The longer horizontal portions of the said rods arearranged side by side and inserted through the horizontal openings F inthe head, whereby the said arms are supported, and are adapted to beadjusted in a longitudinal direction to cause the vertical portions Hthereof to approach or recede from each other. A setserew K engages thethreaded opening in the rear side of the head, and is adapted to impingeon the rear side of the standard A to clamp the head to the standard atany desired vertical adjustment, and to also clamp the,

holding-arms to the head at any desired longitudinal adjustment. Therecesses O are engaged by one of the holding-arms at diiferent verticaladjustments of the head, as shown in Fig. 4, and when the set-screw isturned to clamp the head to the standard the openings, by engaging oneof the arms, absolutely prevent the possibility of the verticaladjustment of the head becoming deranged, as will be readily understood.

In Fig. 2 I illustrate a modified form of my invention, in which thestandard A has a baseplate L, the ends of which are dovetailed andadapted to fit in a dovetailed recess M in a beam N of a cultivator orsulky-plow frame. Clip-bolts O are in this instance arranged in suchmanner as to encompass the ends of the base-plate and the beam N andclamp the base-plate firmly to the said beam.

The operation of my invention will be very readily understood. The reinsare passed over the guide-arms G, and by adjusting the latter toward orfrom each other, and by adjusting the head vertically on the standard,the reins may be supported in any desired position, according to thestature of the driver, and prevented from coming in contact with partsof the cultivator-frame.

In Fig. 3 I illustrate another modified form of my invention, in whichthe standard is provided with two vertical arms M, having their upperends N bent inward toward each other. On the said arms M is arranged ahorizontal bar 0, which has its ends bifurcated to receive the arms, andin the said bifurcated ends are pivoted a pair of eccentric clamps P,which are adapted to impinge on the arms .LT and secure the yoke theretoat any desired vertical adjustment.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- 1. In a rein-holder, thecombination of the standard, the head vertically adjustable thereon, andthe oppositely horizontally disposed and independently-adjustablesupporting-arms mounted in the head, substantially as specified.

2. In a rein-holder, the combination of the vertical standard, the headadjustable thereon, the arms G, overlapping each other, ex-

IO and an adjusting-screw passing through the head and impinging againstthe standard and serving to bind one of the arms in an adjacent notch,substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto afiixedmy signature in I 5 presence of two Witnesses.
